MARTIN & LEWIS COLLECTION: VOL. 1
In the early '50s, they owned show business: TV, nightclubs, records, stage shows and, of course, movies. The duo that one mogul called the organ grinder (Dean Martin) and the monkey (Jerry Lewis) created inventive comedy out of a tense and bizarrely intimate palship. This set has the first eight of the 16 movies they made as a team. No masterpieces here, but each film summons up the time when Dean did his sexy crooning and Jer ran splendidly amuck.
